The MIB was earlier portrayed as kinda the governing authority of the para community. It’s just that Monica and company were all several tiers above the vast majority of “immortal” politicians running it. So likely not a bad thing.

I get the sense the “poor sweetie” is more for having possible helicopter relatives who are professionally snoops, with power/position to be snoopy if so inclined. Just wait until Jin pops in for a visit.

@DJTsurugi: Click on the “Skylar” entry in the Characters tag up above… it will take you to a page with thumbnails of all of the strips she has appeared in. One of them is a pinup which shows her with horns and tail. Very few of us mundanes have both a tail and a set of horns.

MiB is sort of a shadow government in the para world, apparently – remember, when Bud was Atsali and Castela’s shopping buddy at the para mall, she said that Katherine had X dollars for each of them … and that MiB would match it.

Heck, Atsali herself probably qualifies as a bunker-buster. Her sister is probably closer to a city-buster, (if not a Class 3-A TEOTWAWKI…maybe ..much, higher), and a few of her aunts are TEOTWAWKI, Class-X, (her aunt Monica might be as high as Class X-4), ordinance.

It’s one thing when your parents listen in on your phone calls– it’s another when they hook up a stinger and watch your text messages in real time, bug your room, and plant “their people” at parties you go to.
